Keys strike paper but doesn't space on IBM 6784 and there is no Lang light on, I tried what was said in a previous question in regards to the lang light but the space bar still doesn't work.

If space bar doesn work. then the space bar is failed keyboard. If letter keys move and work, space bar is failed.

How do I change the line spacing on an IBM 6789 without the monitor?

I believe on the R. side of the keyboard there is a key that says RELOC and in green LINE SPACE press the code key and it will move thespaces To 1, 1.5. 2.and 3,

If yhou aren't using the memory you can remove the batteries and it will set everything to default settings on power up.

My IBM wheelwriter 2 comes on and all functions well except that when I punch a key nothing moves and does not type. I recently replaced the battery, did I do wrong?

Sounds like a keyboard problem. Check for keys stuck down.

If the typewriter has a Dead Key Disconnect make sure it is set for normal typing.

You can find a manual for the typewriter at the bottom of this page:

I have a IBM WW 1500 all the keyboard works but the spacebar, is this the function or keyboard or possible homming sensor failure?

If everything wirks but the space bar you probably have a keyboard problem. If someone had the space bar off it may not be properly installed. You can pop the space bar off and look for debris under it.

Probably not much you can do it probabily needs a cycle clutch or at least adjusted. If you know how to remove the case you can try spraying with WD40 it may work but it will be temporary. DickyO

There are a few things that can cause your spacebar to not move the carrier. Do you hear any sound when you press on the bar? There are adjustment that may need to be made to the machine or perhaps there is something sticking in the mechanism. Unfortunately you mey not be able to fix this yourself as these machines need a technician to properly repair and service the machine.
